I've had these aperture cards since - forever, so time to use! I embossed the central aperture with the TH Snowflake EF after inking it with various shades of blue, the little scene is from Artistic Outpost Midwinter and some background stamping of TH Tree Line, and a couple of die cuts.
Well, at least that's a few more for the pile.
I am entering this at Stamping Sensations - Get Ready for Christmas
Thanks for calling in,

Wow, this card is awesome Avril! So many different layers of interest and the beautiful stamped cottage in the center. I share your thoughts on batch making but as you say, needs must when we have so many to make. Thank you for joining us in our 'Get Ready For Christmas' theme challenge at Stamping Sensations and good luck. Sandra x.
This really does speak Christmas Avril, All beautifully framed with that embossed die cut overlay. I love that Winter Cabin stamp, one i've used many times. You may have encouraged me to do a little Christmas crafting myself today..

Thanks for such. Pretty card, it's reminded me that, I too, have aperture cards lying unloved in a drawer! Must dig them out and add to the stash ready for next year (if the world lasts that long!)

A lovely layered and textured design. I love reindeer on Christmas cards.
The snowflake texture and the landscape in the circle look perfekt. I love that.
